In 2001, a car accident turned Joel Peacock's life upside down. But even after surgery and years of recovery, Joel is still haunted by constant and severe pain.
"It's just excruciating pain," said Peacock. "You can't function. You just feel like crawling into a box and dying."
The South Buffalo man takes powerful drugs, but they don't always work.
So when the 58-year-old was out of town a few years ago, and ran out of his medication, he tried something else to relieve his symptoms.
He smokes marijuana.
"I went back to the hotel, smoked some and the pain just went away," Peacock told Eyewitness News.
Since then, Peacock has advocated for legalizing medical marijuana in New York State.
